Can anyone from Germany tells us what happening there?  Is the share
of market belonging to Atari being eaten away by the Amiga?  Atari
is always "proud" of their success in Europe, but many sources seem
to indicate that the last stronghold of Atari is also lost to Amiga.
Someone in comp.sys.amiga said that "Commodore" is the best selling
computer in Germany.  which Commodore?  C64/128 or Amiga 500?  I
guess it's the Amiga 500.  Now see what else Atari will
say.  Perhaps the only thing Atari is preparing to do is to go
bankruptcy.

Also, can anyone from Atari tell us why Atari never releases their
sale figures?  Is Atari ashamed of their number?  Or what?
